Not all vape stores are created equal, and 180 Smoke Vape Store’s focus on harm reduction and consumer collaboration makes it one of a kind. Here are five things to know about this innovative company.
The Mission
“Significantly reduce harm done to human health from addictive substances.”
This retail chain is the brainchild of Toronto-based cardiac surgeon Dr. Gopal Bhatnagar, who was tired of seeing the damage that traditional combustion smoking had on his patients. He co-founded the company with the goal of reducing harm in the smoking community by offering vaping as an alternative.
180 Smoke Vape Store’s primary focus is helping smokers find the best solution for their habit regardless of what kind of user they may be. 180 Smoke Vape Store wants to support you on your journey to meet your harm reduction goals.
By the People
Thousands of traditional cigarette and cannabis smokers interested discovering a less harmful alternative to their smoking habit banded together through a crowd-sourcing campaign to better understand the needs of the consumer. This is what has allowed 180 Smoke Vape Store to effectively appease smokers who need assistance combating their addiction.
In fact, 180 Smoke’s Classic e-liquid line was crowd-sourced through an international survey involving thousands of smokers, as well as their families.
Created in 2012, the 180 Smoke Vape Store has been able to expand across the nation with 30 locations in North America. Three of these stores are right in Alberta: two in Edmonton (at 10120 151 St. NW and 6328 B,104 St. NW) and one in Calgary (at 101-2230 68 St. NE), which opened just this month.

Varied Inventory
180 Smoke Vape Store’s inventory consists of e-cigarettes, portable/desktop herbal vaporizers, drug testing kits and e-liquids from free base to nicotine salts made with the highest-quality ingredients in a range of flavours. You can also find heat not burn vape devices that significantly reduce the amount of potentially harmful constituents (or HPHCs), commonly found in traditional cigarettes. These vape devices heat the tobacco — instead of burning or combustion, like in a traditional cigarette — producing a vapour of smoke, instead.
